A Russian reconnaissance airplane briefly violated Sweden’s airspace on Friday, Swedish protection officers mentioned on Saturday, because the Scandinavian country ponders a bid for NATO membership after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“A Russian AN-30 propeller aircraft violated Swedish airspace on Friday evening,” the Swedish defense ministry said in an announcement, including that its teams had adopted the incident and photographed it.
The ministry mentioned the airplane was flying east of Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic, before it headed toward Swedish territory.
“It's totally unacceptable to violate Swedish airspace,” public television SVT quoted Protection Minister Peter Hultqvist as saying.
“This action is unprofessional and given the overall security scenario very inappropriate. Swedish sovereignty should always be revered.”
